I understand that this thread may get closed, I don't care. Like I wrote in the title, I just want to vent some frustration.
So I went to bed at like 9 last night because 8 this morning I had a dentist appt. It was a 6 month cleaning but I didn't get mine till March. I also woke up at midnight for some reason maybe because I didn't have a full dinner or was just used to going to bed later, the point is I could not fall back asleep and just stayed awake in bed tossing and turning till 6am, the time I had to get up for the day's first prayer.
So I leave for the dentist and get there 20 minutes early. Apparently they open right at 8 so I had to wait outside. This middle aged man was also waiting outside and started talking to me. I just graduated so I told him about how I was looking for jobs for the new year and such. At some point I said something like "God willing I'll find a job soon." Then he starts talking about God & religion a lot more. That's not where I expected this small talk conversation to go.
The dentist opens and I go inside, the guy asks me if I've been going to church. And I told him I go to church Fridays, and since today is Friday I said yes I'm planning to attend. Then he asks me what my denomination is, I tell him I'm Muslim, and he goes, "Oh you're Muslim. You don't believe in the true god."
... :o
I didn't want to talk to him anymore. But then I sit down and continues to talk to me. He talks about how Abraham had an illegitimate child (bastard child in his words) and that's when the people diverged and the origin of Islam started. He tells me that "to you, I am an infidel. And you know what you do to infidels?" Then he looked around and saw there was a kid with his mom also sitting in the lobby, so instead of saying anything explicit out loud, he did the finger over the throat hand motion. (
)
Although I'm getting pissed off, all I say is "You've been misinformed" over and over again, but he denies it saying he has a copy of the Qur'an that he apparently carries around sometimes. Heclaims to know everything about Islam and everything I believe in. I eventually stop responding to him, but my blood was boiling.
Combined with the lack of sleep and that crap, was a horrible way to start my day, and my new year. You know how they say ignorance is bliss? Well sometimes it is a scapegoat.
